For all we know the seller is keeping the "good stuff" and purging his
more common items. Or, it may be a must sell thing, we all have had our
backs against the wall and need to sell of stuff to pay the bills. I wish
him well and I hope that these items find themselves in the hands of a
person who will keep them in good shape.

All microcomputer stuff that was made in the gazillions of units
quantities. I'm not sure how the owner determined that the value is
"$75K" to collectors. If you're going to list something for more than
$1,000 on ebay, the least you could do is make sure that the listing
is complete when you post it, particularly if you've got only ~30
hours left on the listing.

My guess is the seller didn't collect any of it. Clearly he didn't pay $5000
for it either.
There's a lot of software that may or may not run. There are one or two
attractive items. The vast majority of it can be described as home or
personal computers. Nothing of interest to me because:
1. I live in the UK
2. With one exception I collect DEC systems.
3. The exception? - I'm looking for a 230v Northstar Horizon or parts
thereof.
